What a drama!

[i-need-a-martini]

So the rabbit has just raced in the house from the back yard faster than I have ever seen him run with this black thing running behind it. In the blur it looked like a panther!

It was a freaking cat! 

I've just spent the last 20mins trying to make the terrified rabbit safe whilst trying to get this stray cat out of my house. I had to boot the cat to get him to move away from the rabbit. And then he wouldn't leave the house.

The rabbit refuses to come out of his hiding spot and my leg is bleeding from being clawed by this blooming cat.

What the heck! It's not like the rabbit is a tiny little thing that could be mistaken for a mouse.

Why can't people keep their stupid cats inside? I am sick to death of not being able to keep my own pets safe and secure in their own house because people allow their cats to roam during the day.

I agree. My cat is inside. I have to keep other peoples cats away from my chickens X-(

Hope the rabbit is ok

[izabsmiling]

is the cat still in your house ?

[hairy*coconuts]

I bet the cat just wanted to ask the rabbit why he had round poo.

Yes, people who let their cats wander don't care about them. Neighbour across the road has 2 cats.1 lives in my poolyard! when it isn't sitting on my patio teasing my dog.....X-()

Don't get me started!  My neighbours cat (used to be 2 but one died) comes into our yard and uses it as it's litter box.  It'll do it one time when my grandpuppies (2 staffies) are visiting and all hell will break loose 😮

Yes I did finally get the cat out but only after a lot of hissing and lashing out at me. I don't like to hurt animals but I had to literally kick him like a football out of each room.

God I hate cats.

I know.  Its a huge problem here too.  I have to make sure there is no cat poo in the backyard before I let my dog out.   I cant have any decent outdoor furniture...Everything stinks of cat urine :_|X-(

I was actually going to start a thread asking for help re keeping these horrid cats away.  Any natural deterrents?  I have googled but getting too much conflicting information. Can I spray the fence with something?

[i-need-a-martini]

meep - we had a cat that kept spraying the back door for weeks. We used to hit it every night with a bleach/vinegar mix and they stopped.

But they always find somewhere else.
